RF02 - Ventress A (Refit)

Description
WARNING! Built for Reforged Eden 1.

REFORGED EDEN 2 Version here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3275137820&result=1

The RF02 - Ventress A is a refit of the classic RF02 - Ventress

This refit focuses mostly around power, engines and overall ship mass. In short the ship is much lighter has more thrust and more power at the expense of firepower.

Firepower is reduced to almost entirely defensive assuming the captain will be able to acquire additional CPU via Aux or Quantum cores and add more firepower then.

The ships overall armour has been reduces from hardened steel to just steel but the frontal armour upgraded to Xeno and utilising decoy thrusters to draw fire to the nose of the ship.
If you are taking damage on the hull, ensure the front of the ship is facing the incoming fire to minimise risk to vital systems.
Thrusters are configured to give equal forward and reverse thrust so the ship can be flown backwards for quick strategic withdrawals.

The ships overall visuals and dynamics are much more sleek and aerodynamic. 4 under powered and heavy nacelles replaced with 2 lightweight powerful nacelles utilising drive thrusters for extra torque and thrust power.

Additional improvements include:
- expanded hydroponics
- removed hotspots
- new efficient gravity generator
- expanded lower hangar bay
- expanded storage
- new harvest box
- better pilot visibility
- more weapon hard points
- expanded captains quarters
- larger bridge for more crew
- massive upgrade potential and space for additional devices.

upgrade advice on the LCD on the bridge.

For direct comparison, the classic Ventress can be found here https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2348498033

Although I have extensivley tested the ship in survival mode, please let me know any problems or bugs with the build in the comments below. Otherwise I hope you like the ship and I trust she will serve you well. Good luck Captain.

Loved watching this come together in your Breaking Bad series, echoing everyone else over a RE2 version. :)

Awesome refit of a classic design! Can't wait for the RE2 version, have basically switched outright since beta came out.
@ichduersiees Crew in RE2 actually do seem to have a use. The power armored guard for example seems to increase your ammo capacity, the female officer increases CPU, the male officer standing at the console increases scan range (iirc) et cetera. Shame crew has been hard limited, but I suspect a bit of dickery in blocksconfig will undo that unfortunate change.

This is a RE1 build, RE2 version coming soon

great ship but it really needs another update for RE2. especially the crew-members... they are pretty difficult to get and have no real use in RE2 anymore. also some CPU is missing. had to add 2 tier 3 and at least 1 tier 4 cpu cores in creative mode first.

I watched the original version of this ship for the first time in a video the other day fight a bunch of drone madness. This is a tough little ship.

Much appreciate the update to one of my favorite ships designs that you have submitted

There are some blocks that aren't the same on the underside in front and to the side of the deflector dish fyi. Where those turrets are aren't the same. Took me a while to notice. It's not obvious until you see it.
